The treaties varied in purpose and function, but the general outcome saw Indigenous relegate authority over their lands to the British crown in exchange for protection by the Crown, land reserves and fishing rights.

1. Why does the government maintain Canadian ownership rules for broadcasting in Canada? Historically, the government has considered broadcasting an all-important part of Canadian national security and even "military defense strategy" (Armstrong, 2010, p. 207). For example, during wartime, foreign ownership of Canadian broadcasting could be used for propaganda purposes.
